What People Say

Martin Fahy 2nd June 2012

I came to Owen over weight and not too fit (and nearly 50!) with a goal of doing the London marathon in 6 months; I wanted personal training and sports massage.
In short Owen was outstanding. He has excellent knowledge (sports science degree at Loughborough helps) but more importantly, he can apply his knowledge and is intuitive in his delivery. I have had sports massage (both good and bad) before and I know an excellent session when I get one and Owen gave what was required consistently and in a professional way. I have recommended Owen to family and friends who all appreciated his skill. I can thoroughly recommend Owen James for both personal training and sports massage and without him I would not have achieved my goal ( I completed the london marathon 2012 in 3h58min)

“Having known Owen since school we have kept in touch since then. He has been a constant friend through all my tough times. Late 2007 I was diagnosed with having testicular cancer. Having put on lots of weight while having chemotherapy and steroids I needed to lose it all as quick as possible. The middle of 2008 was the time to do it. I knew of Owen being a personal trainer so booked a consultation session with him. I needed a goal, I needed to become fitter and more confident in myself as a person and also in looks – but needed help in doing this. I was suffering with mild depression at the time… now Owen will not know this until he sees this recommendation, but he was a huge inspiration to me, and helped me through some pretty dark days. Not just as a trainer, but as a friend. He must be one of the easiest people to talk to, he goes through everything step by step and always has a positive spring in his step, but then again he should do with all the Marathons he runs (o: Thanks Owen, for everything mate!

British Indoor Rowing Championships 2008If anyone had told me 9 months ago that I would willingly get out of bed at 6.30am on a autumn Sunday morning and subject myself to the gut wrenching nerves and sheer physical exhaustion involved in competing in a national indoor rowing competition I’d have said they were mad: not least because I have never previously competed in any rowing competition. However that’s exactly what happened to me on Sunday 26th October 2008.

What made it happen? Owen James – that’s what! Beneath that beguiling and taciturn manner lies a steely determination. Owen coaxed and encouraged me to compete and has supported my training all the way. I said that the one thing I was dreading was finishing last! What was the result of all our hard work? I led the field for the first part of the race and finished about half way through the field; braking my personal best time by an amazing 9 seconds.

I was so grateful to Owen in coming to watch and support me at the event at 9.00am even though his own race wasn’t until 5.30pm. It was a great day at the NIA in Birmingham: the organisation was extremely efficient, whilst the atmosphere and camaraderie between competitors was what exactly what one would expect of sportsmen.

All in all I had a great day and I can’t wait until the 2009 championships!

A thoroughly great guy, who has helped trun me from the robot I was into a more flexible person which is starting to pay dividends with my running. I would recommend Owen to anyone who requires a sports massage, certainly the best I’ve ever used.
